Excerpt from Rare Good Luck: A Fortune in Seven Strokes
Moonlight, the type of peace, was looking down from heaven upon the close of a wild war of wind and waves. She was an old moon: though she was high in the sky, the thinnest of gray lines in the far east warned the rebellious elements that they had not much time left to smooth themselves into a fitting smile of welcome for the sun. Already the wind had sunk into the dead silence that so often follows a more than usually furious gale; and the silver road of the moon was unbroken save by a few black hollows here and there. But the waves were still heaving and swelling against the huge wall of rock with a thundering force that out lasted the strength of the wind that had called them into fury.
